The benefits of computing for children with special educational needs

Working with ComputerXplorers, the young people experience a range of STEM activities such as robotic engineering with Lego blocks, learnt how to code and even built their very own village in Minecraft whilst collaborating or working independently on tasks within the program.

They also expand their creativity through open ended tasks such as designing the look and feel of the worlds in video game design challenges or using their skills and imagination to create their own unique environment. This can be particularly beneficial for children who can use 3D imagery to communicate - read more here about the use of SketchUp with young people with autism.

The wide range of computing activities we offer gives young people with special needs the opportunity to express themselves, develop new skills, take pride in their accomplishments and increase their self esteem.

Maximise the potential of children with additional and special educational needs

"ComputerXplorers has tuned into the needs of our young people, engaging and challenging them beyond their expectations. As a result, the young people have gained confidence and experienced success in a way they haven’t before."
